Weight Lifted

[Verse 1]
Had the weight on my chest
Like bricks in a sack
Night after night
I was dragging it back

Palm to the floor
Head low, no flex
I was close to the edge
Still I never broke next

Looked up at the roof
Then I looked at my hands
Said one real prayer
And I stood where I can

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the room went quiet
Then the dark moved back
I felt my knees shake
But I didn't collapse

Breath came in clean
Like rain on steel
Something in me cracked
Then the hurt got peeled

[Chorus]
I prayed and felt the weight lifted
Weight lifted, weight lifted
I prayed and felt the weight lifted
Now I move like I mean it

I prayed and felt the weight lifted
No more chains on my body
I prayed and felt the weight lifted
Look at me now, I'm on it

[Verse 2]
Had mud on my name
Had doubt in the crowd
Had voices so loud
They were hunting me down

But I kept that spark
Kept it tucked in my sleeve
Even when my own shadow
Wouldn't stand next to me

Now I talk to the pain
Like "you done with me, fam?"
Now I step in the light
With a fire in my stance

Every scar on my skin
Got a story to tell
I was low, then I rose
That's a life I know well

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the room went quiet
Then the dark moved back
I felt my knees shake
But I didn't collapse

Breath came in clean
Like rain on steel
Something in me cracked
Then the hurt got peeled

[Chorus]
I prayed and felt the weight lifted
Weight lifted, weight lifted
I prayed and felt the weight lifted
Now I move like I mean it

I prayed and felt the weight lifted
No more chains on my body
I prayed and felt the weight lifted
Look at me now, I'm on it

[Bridge]
If you knew the drop
You'd respect this height
I was buried alive
Now I'm built for the fight

One more time
Let it break, let it go
What held me down
Can't follow me home

[Chorus]
I prayed and felt the weight lifted
Weight lifted, weight lifted
I prayed and felt the weight lifted
Now I move like I mean it

I prayed and felt the weight lifted
No more chains on my body
I prayed and felt the weight lifted
Look at me now, I'm on it
